Well-Known Binary Representation for Geometry (WKBGeometry)

Well-Known Binary Representation for Geometry (WKBGeometry) - Data format that provides a portable representation of a Geometry value as a contiguous stream of bytes. Obtained by serializing a geometric object as a sequence of numeric types drawn from the set {Unsigned Integer, Double} and then serializing each numeric type as a sequence of bytes using one of two well defined, standard, binary representations for numeric types (NDR, XDR).
